In 2024, Labour Day/May Day celebrations will take place across the long weekend of 4-6 May.
This annual event is both an important reminder not to forget those who fought hard for decent and fair working conditions in Australia, as well as a celebration of their success and a chance to renew our commitment to ensuring a better future for all.
Events will be held throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory to recognise this significant date in our union calendar.
